Our stunning ‘dahabiyyas’ give you the opportunity to enjoy Egypt at a leisurely pace, to drink in the landscapes, and peruse the monuments and villages on the riverbanks. The wonderful and unique difference that separates this Bales cruise from all others is the dedication to being flexible and tailoring the holiday around your needs. This cruise allows you to decided whether you disembark and explore some of Egypt’s most famous and historical monuments at your own pace, or simply stay on board and spend time at your leisure. Either way, the decision is yours.

These exclusive traditional ‘dahabiyyas’are beautifully crafted wooden ships, which travel under sail (motor available when conditions require it), or using the current, along the River Nile. Outfitted in colonial style with Oriental and Egyptian touches, the interiors boast period furnishings with each of the six cabins individually decorated. Each of the boats can accommodate up to twelve passengers, and are exclusive to travellers of Bales Worldwide.

Once you have boarded you exclusive ‘dahabiyya’, prepare yourself for an extremely relaxing time cruising down the Nile. The delightful crew are ready to welcome you on board and throughout your journey. Their friendliness and eagerness to help, creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. The small nature of these ‘dahabiyyas’also helps to create an intimate and exclusive ambience, making this journey a truly unique experience.

Our Tailor Made service means that we can offer you a wide range of different options before or after you cruise. For example you may wish you make a visit to the Mediterranean metropolis of Alexandria for a few days exploring before heading back to Cairo on the train or alternatively you might want to consider a relaxing break after the cruise at one of the many resorts along the Red Sea coast. Alternatively, spend extra time in Luxor or Aswan. When you choose this private hire option the choice is entirely yours.
